Advert

In week four we went on our school camp. We did many activities there including jet boating. Once we got back to school we made an advert for one of the activities to put on our blogs. I chose to do my advert on the jet boating. Here is my advert:

Camp Certificate

We've just come back from a great camp to Murchison.  This is a certificate my class mates gave me.

Holiday assignment

For our holiday assignment this term break we had to follow some instructions,take some pictures of what you did and post that on your blog with a little bit telling what you are doing in the photos. Here is my DLO on the set of instructions I followed:

Animal text

For pet day we have been making things to do with the pet we are bringing. One of the things we made was a text message which was supposed to look like your pet was texting you with their phone. It was supposed to be sort of funny or to do with something that had happened to your pet. Here is my text messages:

Maths prove it

For maths in class we have been learning about remainders and how to turn them into decimals. One of our activities was to work out a set of questions with remainders and show out working out on a DLO. I hope you learn something from it.

Mihi

In class we have been creating Mihis about ourselves. When we had writen then down we recorded then with us saying them. here is my one:

Introduction

I joined the creative writing club because I wanted to share my stories and also read and comment on other peoples stories.  I look forward to finding out what other people have written.

Inferno Cloud

Inferno Cloud  

Everybody around me was shrieking and running around as the

unstoppable inferno grew closer. The heat was unbearable so I sprinted

towards my house, not knowing what to do. My friend,Uko, held me back

as the triple decker building collapsed in on itself into the fire below.

Uko was a kind boy who tried to look out for everybody, including his

friends. I pushed my friend away as I ran into what was left of the

building. The heat was searing and I was about to dash out when a large

beam fell from what remained of the second floor and knocked me out.

After that I had flashes of what happened next. I got the picture that

someone came in to get me out and took me to one the railways that led

out of the city, and then everything went black.

After what felt like minutes, I was awake and hunched in the seat of

the railway carriage with my face soaked with sweat and drizzle. I wiped

my soaking face with what I meant to be my hand, but turned out to be

a wet cloth. It was a bright night full of cold, stinging wind which only

added to the thin veil of drizzle which felt sickening. The edges of the

lake seemed endless as the wooden rail cart bumped along the rocky track.

I unfolded the cloth to find a burned hand which was still a little warm.

I looked around the carriage. I, of course, saw Uko, then I spotted my

brother, Miyu, a lively kid who enjoys joining in, and furthest away was Lily.

I turned around slowly to see in the distance a red cloud of fire.

Every few seconds orange lightning would flash out of it and then

back in. “We don’t know what it is.” I wheeled around to find out that Lily

knew I was awake and was looking right past me into the cloud of fire.

“But it’s gaining,” she said, acting like no time had passed. “We probably

won’t make it, your brother thinks we will, but Uko and I have lost most of

our hope.” Looking back at the cloudy inferno I grew more pale when I

looked up and along it. It stretched further than the eye could see and

it was higher than the clouds.

“Look, I’m sorry about your arm, I shouldn’t have let you go in there.” It

was Uko this time. Turning around slowly I met his eyes.

“It’s okay, I was the one who went in there. I should be thanking

you for saving me, I would have been toast if someone hadn’t come

in to get me.” “We have to get to the underground storage before it catches

us or we are doomed!”Just then a huge bolt of orange lighting struck the

track metres in front of them, destroying the rails and the stone causeway.

As quickly as it happened, everybody jumped off onto the track beside

them and watched as the grey contraption rolled into the turquoise water.

Nothing happened for a second or two then the cart melted into the water

like it was sugar. And just when things seemed like they couldn’t get any

worse, the red cloud started spitting out the various things it had swallowed.

“ Just perfect!” said Uko sarcastically. Just then I got an idea.

“ Hey Uko, run at me.”

“What?” shouted Uko.

“Just trust me!” I shouted back. After a few seconds, Uko sprinted

towards me as fast as he could. When he was close to me I grabbed

his feet and pushed him up so high into the air. Almost instantly a giant

piece of wood slammed into him and sent him flying across the gap in

the track and even landed on the pale green grass. “Now you Lily.”

Same as Uko, she ran at me and then I boosted her up. Then I did Miyu.

Both times something hit them, sending them onto the land. Almost instantly

after they landed they scrambled into the shelter. Now it was my turn.

I boosted as high up as I could which felt like only a smidge. Just when

I thought I wouldn’t make it, a whole tree smacked into my side and sent

me careening towards land. I jumped away from it at the last second so

it wouldn’t crush me, then I dived into the shelter. As soon as I was in,

Lily slammed and locked the hatch door. There were shelves and shelves

of canned or bottled food. As I collapsed on the hard wooden floor,

I sighed so long that it could have been for an hour. “ Some day!”

proclaimed Miyu, pulling me up.

“Yes indeed,” I replied.

The End  

Book Review

During the Holidays we had to do a book review and a few other things before we got back to school. I have made them both a linked one to the other. here it is:

Recruit Scene

In class our teacher is reading us a book called "The Recruit". It is a great book about kid spies. In our reading activities one of the options is to create a slideshow showing one of your favourite scenes from the book. I chose one where the main character gets attacked but his friends save him. Here it is:

Timeline

At school our teacher brought a box filled with stuff that were complete replicas of the real things which were things that soldiers in the war had or were related about. Then we chose an object and then went on to a site that was about Anzac day. Part of the page led you to a list of the objects we chose out of. In there we were told that every object had a story about a soldier who served in the war and whatever object we chose, we researched the person to make a timeline on our soldier. Here is my one:

Reading Activity

In the book that our teachers are reading to us the character went into the London Underground. Because of that some of our reading activities were based around the London Underground. For my activity I researched The London Underground and presented what I found out on a google drawing. I hope that My poster helps you understand the London Underground more. Here it is:

Anzac Poster

For topic we have been learning about Anzac day. One of the activities we made was on a site called Thinklink where we made a poster and put all the information we had found out of them. we added tags and put A few facts in each. Here is my finished work:

Bio Poem

In school we have been learning about bio poems. Bio is short for autobiography. We read some examples then we wrote our own based on the same structure. When we finished we converted the writing and made it into a slideshow. Every slide had one or two pictures for the appropriate sentence.
